Baku/11.02.19/Turan: Today the Baku Court of Appeal considered the complaint of Bakhtiyar Bagirov, an activist of the Muslim Unity Movement, who was administratively arrested for 15 days.
Although people in civilian clothes arrested him on February 6, the 11th was officially dated. On the same day, the Narimanov District Court of Baku sentenced him to 15 days of administrative arrest on charges of disorderly conduct.
At today's trial, he said that he and a friend were sitting in a teahouse when an unknown person called him, saying that he had been sent by religious activist Ahsan Nuruzade, who is serving his sentence in jail N 6. "He asked for a meeting. We met near the "Araz Market", but there they detained me, put me in a car and took me to the "bandit department" - the Main Directorate for Combating Organized Crime of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. " According to Bagirov, he was held there for six days.
It was said at the trial that Bagirov was obscenely expressed on the street, for which he was detained.
According to Bagirov, he was kidnapped in front of his friend Fikrem Mammadov, who informed 102 Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ombudsman"s office about the incident. For 6 days, no information was provided to relatives about the fate of Bagirov. The media also wrote about the disappearance of Bagirov.
Lawyer Javad Javadov petitioned for the interrogation in court of a friend of the arrested F. Mammadov, viewing records from the "Araz Market" video cameras and other objects located around. However, the petitions were not granted.
Bagirov himself said that he was detained five days before the trial and one day after the trial in the Chief Department to Fight Organized Criminality. The reason for his arrest was the name given to his publications about torture in places of detention in social networks. Because of my video message, 5-6 people beat me," said Bagirov.
Judge Hasan Ahmedov rejected the complaint after a short meeting. -06D-

The closure of Azerbaijan's land borders was discussed during the parliamentary session on November 25. While the government’s decision cites the coronavirus pandemic as the main reason—despite the World Health Organization declaring its end last year—Zahid Oruj, Chair of the Human Rights Committee in the Milli Majlis, pointed to other factors. He stated, "Opening the borders could result in an influx of hundreds of thousands of non-Azerbaijani refugees due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Additionally, in Iran, many are prepared to cross into Azerbaijan to safeguard their lives and assets amid military strikes. Such waves of refugees could lead to humanitarian, social, and cultural clashes that may threaten political stability."
